I was actually selling Apple gear when they released the Mighty mouse. It sounded AWESOME. We were so excited. On their ads, it sounded like we'd get a product with touchpad buttons basically that killed their previous (worse) puck mice.
What we got, was an overpriced mouse which was near-damned impossible to click the right button (you got RSI every time you tried) and which was physical click.
Microsoft's super cheap basic mice we sold 10x faster (at least), and were 1/3rd the price
The reality is, they really f*** up most of their products, but people make excuses for them. Even the iPod shuffle, there were good cheap alternatives (I had one), and mine even had a display. OSX 10 used to have corrupt preferences regularly, SMB was crap until at least OSX 10.5, etc. One release, there was a bug where the network broke completely after a few minutes (there is no way anyone couldn't have noticed during testing)
My Mac Studio M2 was the only computer I have ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB-C cables (and, it was a few of them from differing brands). Antenna gate, and they tried to water down the problems, by comparing to other manufacturers and said "if you hold them in this totally unrealistic way, you have similar issues"
It would be.. Sold them for years.. But, its informed bias. Owned a Powermac, Mac Pro, and various other gear.
And, the things that people whine about in Apple forums weren't even the most common issues
Every bit of gear I owned was overpriced considering the issues with the hardware itself.
In fact, I watched as Apple's market grew as people walked in believing Mac's can't get viruses and don't crash (and this was whilst iLife was super buggy, I was constantly fixing preferences).
Each is entitled to their own opinion, but the only good thing I can credit MacOS for these days, is IOS support built in, and not being as much a clusterfuck as Windows.
In practice, if it wasn't for IOS support, Linux has basically caught up I feel.
